Render to Lightrom?
I haven't used XXL for a while. I have version 5, Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.7. When I try to render to lightroom I get the following message: "This document contains hidden pixels. In order to avoid render problems, they are now cropped away. To restore them, please undo the render step in the His...

Re: status of ElementsXXL on Elements Upgrade
I meant when I upgrade to the latest Elements version (15) what will happen to the current ElementsXXL version. Will it still run in Elements 15 or will I have to re-install ElementsXXL/LayersXXL?

Re: 8-bit/16-bit workflow
I just downloaded the update and tried it out. It works great. I would have done it much earlier except that I forgot that some messages end up in the junk email folder. It hit me to check that folder and found your message. That won't happen again.
Thanks for the update.

8-bit/16-bit workflow
I have been playing with 16-bit rendering and prepare 8-bit document in Elements XXL. The way I have been tackling it is this: Start in Lightroom to perform major edits on raw image, go to Elements. Prepare 8-bit document Add Smart Filters, choose filters and edit (I usually use NIK Filters) Save as...

Where is the Base Image in Prepare 8 bit document
I just upgraded to Elements XXL 4 and noticed something interesting. In previous versions, when I activated Preparer 8 bit Document, a base image icon appeared in the layer pallet. I don't see that in version 4, even though I am indeed in 8 bit mode. Is this normal in the new version or is there a p...

Auton save /recover in XXL
I just had the unhappy experience of spending I hour on a photo using Smart Filters only to have Elements crash. This is the second time it has happened to me. Then it occurred to me that XXL has an auto save/recover feature that I forgot about (DUH). But try as I might, I can't find out where to ac...

Re: elementsxxl & lightroom
Thanks for the answer. I'll try this and wait for an update. Like I said in my original post, It might be easier to pass a file from Lightroom in 8-bit mode since I did all the heavy editing in raw in Lightroom and shouldn't experience any degredation in image quality. BTW, I love these two plugins ...

elementsxxl & lightroom
If I send a photo to elements 12 from Lightroom and then render a 16 bit file to 8 bit, make changes, re-render to 16 bit, it looks like Lightroom does not recognize it, at least I can't find it in the LR library. I think it's because the filename is changed and Lightoom does not like that. Does tha...

Re: How to make a selection using the paths tool
PSE 12. I kind of figured other selection methods would work, was just trying to follow the tutorial.

How to make a selection using the paths tool
I am doing a tutorial on how to create astronomical nebula. The first step says to use the pen tool and draw a shape then make a selection. I draw the shape fine, but when I click Make Selection in the Paths Panel nothing happens and I can find no directions in the manual. How do I do this? Thanks J...

Elements XXL and Lightroom
What is the best workflow to use if you develop your images in Lightroom then sent the file to Elements, use some ElementsXXL functions, especially the Render functions. Does Lightroom recognize the render changes you made to the image when you return to Lightroom?

Re: XXL items not highlighted in blue
Strange it is, but not a real serious problem, it was a nice convenience. I'll work on it a bit.

XXL items not highlighted in blue
I just downloaded XXL v2.50 and after I installed it in Elements 12, I noticed that the XXL elements were no longer highlighted in blue even though I have that item checked in preferences. Is that something new in this version?
Thanks,
